What you'll be making
Before we ask you to write a bunch of code, we think it's helpful for you to see exactly what you'll be making in this project.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Result</title>
</head>
<body><h1>YEAH SANDWICHES</h1>

<p>I like eggs.</p>
<p>And ham!</p>
<p>But mostly sandwiches.</p>

2.Every house needs a frame
Your webpage is blank as the day it was born! Let's add five things:

index.html
file and the Result tab for an example—we've made our very own webpage.index.htm

2.Every house needs a frame
An HTML page is sort of like a house: it needs a certain number of essential structures in order to work.
Just like a house, an HTML page needs a frame. In this case, your frame is made of

3.It's better with a header
Your webpage could use an
<h1>
header between the body tags to let everyone know that the page is about you.
Instructions
Create an
<h1>
tag inside your body tags. Between your opening <h1>
and closing </h1>
tags, type your name for all to see!
4.Tell us about yourself
Your page is coming along, but it's not telling us much yet.
You could use a paragraph or two telling your readers what your interests are, what you do for a living, how much you love learning HTML, and so on.

5.A picture's worth a thousand words
Nice work! Your page is still looking a bit spare, though. Better add an image or two to spruce things up a bit.
Remember, to insert an image from the web you will need to right-click and select "Copy image URL." Then use this URL in your

tags. Feel free to put it anywhere! (We think it'd look best after your <h1>
tag, but before your <p>
tags.) You can make the src
attribute point to any image you like.
6.Link me!
Great! There's only one problem: your webpage is like a
house with no doors. There's no way to get in or out! We'll fix that by
adding a couple of links.
Once you successfully add your links and hit Run, you've finished! Revel in the glory of your newly created webpage.
If it still looks a little basic to you, don't worry. We'll soon teach you CSS to make your webpages look sharp!
